Although OKSavingsBank BRION secured the first two dragons, Gen.G’s mid-game teamfights, vision control, and objective setup gradually built a decisive gold lead. The game ended after a successful Baron fight, with Gen.G dismantling BRION’s base in 33 minutes.

By the 23-minute mark, Gen.G had a 5,000 gold advantage, and their late-game execution was clinical.
